fix(ci): calculate prerelease versions in dry runs

[patrickkabwe]

Summary

• run semantic-release prereleases through a small JS API wrapper instead of --extends
• keep the selected source branch classified as a prerelease branch
• preserve local dry-run scripts for main and next

Why

semantic-release merges --extends before the repo release.config.cjs, so the stable config was overriding prerelease branches and producing 3.7.2 instead of 3.7.2-next.1.

Verification

• bun lint
• bun run build
• actionlint .github/workflows/pre-release.yml
• GitHub Actions dry run: https://github.com/patrickkabwe/create-nitro-module/actions/runs/35324470309
  • release_branch=main
  • dry_run=true
  • output: The next release version is 3.7.2-next.1
  • output: Skip v3.7.2-next.1 tag creation in dry-run mode
  • output: Published release 3.7.2-next.1 on next channel

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Updated pre-release publishing to consistently handle both the main and next release channels.
  • Added a dedicated pre-release runner for standard and dry-run releases.
  • Improved release command handling for CI and local dry-run scenarios.
  • Pre-release configuration now applies channel metadata to the selected branch while retaining the other branch in the release configuration.
